What ever "capitalism" is, there are two obvious things that can destroy any attempt of make it sustainable. 1. Usury, which has been banned or condemned in most religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity even Judaism bans charging interest to fellow Jews in the Torah. This is in it's essence poising to any viable economy. 2. The corporations "A corporation is a legally created organization that acts as a single person, with rights and duties separate from its owners". The idea that you can create a drug company, make a country addicted to opioid's get PERSONALLY rich, but not be PERSONALLY responsible. Is what creates the companies that have the most destructive behavior towards society.

If the majority of people is not able to understand, uphold, honor or demand the principle of "every man is equal under the law", what we call justice. Then there is no law and there is no reason to pretend that law is relevant, there is only your own ethics as guidelines for good behavior.

You don't have be retired to be sitting with a Margarita on an isolated beach! It only takes 20 minutes.

The worst part about the term "Representative Democracy", is that "Democracy" was never part of the equation, in the vast part of the West "Representative" is neither. The only country I'm aware of that could still use this term with some legitimacy is the Swiss Confederation, with it's direct democracy and cantons.

I had the feeling, based on all the facts, logic and common sense I could gather in. 2011 When Steve Jobs died and Apple had a P/E value of 7. 2013 When Tesla was listed on the exchange. 2020 When Nvidia attempted to buy ARM and Neural Networks started to show promising signs. 2025 Arm listing, Gold and Silver. Today more than ever I have the same feeling with Monero. I know, people have said it over and over for years. One thing is FCMP++, Bulletproof*, post quantum efforts which are really great news and improvements. But, what I think can really break the barrier for monero and send monero up in the top 6 above XRP in the short term 0.5-2 years (10X), is: - A greater reach than ever before, alone here on Nostr. But, also more mention in general. Even though it's small, the right people have a better chance of hearing about monero. - Debanked influencers, some mention Monero, others just show how easily you could get debanked. - The hack of Thorchain the day after their announcement of listing XMR, might show us that more sketchy stuff is going on in the CEX's to manipulate the price than we could ever have imagined. Even in the case of Serai or Thorchain dragging things out, monero will eventually have it's right price set in the DEX's. - EU and US unhinged confiscation of reserves, property and crypto of foreign nationals and nations. #xmr #monero

Anyone aware of when Thorchain plans to list XMR or Serai plans to launch? When an exchange is hacked and taken down for a whole month, 24 hours after they announce their plans to list xmr. You get the feeling that larger forces are at play here. The last I heard were that they will put specific additional fees on xmr swaps?!

@npub142gy...xrj0 have given the option of adding other cryptos than the L2 BTC lightning address. That's the way to do it, nostr should never have been a vehicle to promote an L2 to BTC in the first place.

There are two types of wealthy people in this world. If you don't know the difference between the two, you will spend your life as a doormat at one of them, a cock sucking degraded Lolita, robbed off of time, money and honor. There is the guy who help people, he is trusted and hired for all tasks. He provide value to the world, he is often willing to help out and work for free as he is passionated. He is also financially intelligent, has scaled his businesses or invested wisely. He is curious, sincere, skeptical and aware. He is grounded and seek friends based on person and not profession. Then there is the scammer. He has spend his whole life, starting in early childhood on speculating in how to scam, manipulate and hustle his surroundings. Always looking for people who can provide financial value to him. He has no deeper values, all his ideals are superficial and hollow. Don't glorify wealth. It is the certain way to ruin.

Sometimes you get baffled by the lack of foresight, imagination, product knowledge and creative thinking, the CEO's of some of the biggest companies are in possession of. Most of the time they sound like 3 year old LLM models. Big IT company: "You are allowed to use AI now, ask your manage for access to Chat GBT if you need it. We want to be on the forefront of the AI development!" We are going to see a hugh wave companies die a sudden death the next couple of years.

If you are about to have children, learn them the difference between Real and Fake. Till your child reaches 5 years of age and the pressure from their peers starts to kick in. - Never say "Because I say so", that will make them blindly obedient to authority without questioning or rational argumentation. - Learn them that the treatment of symptoms will never end well. Seek the root causes of any problem and they will be able to fix or understand almost anything. - Don't introduce them to dystopian Disney movies, Hollywood movies (Where both parents are killed and the child is abused). Feed them with entertainment with real life problems and dilemmas and usable knowledge. - Don't feed them with processed food and beverage. Introduce them to real unprocessed food. Demand that they always taste it before the say they don't like it. Gradually they'll appreciate it more and more, to the point where food with a Maggi cube tastes fake to them. - Learn them the difference between real and fake; laminated plastic that looks like wood or steel is fake, average people who portrays as rich buying beyond their means are actually poor (also on a spiritual level) etc. The school, media and society will do anything to unlearn them each of these skills again. But, they will stick with them, for their benefit and success for the rest of their life.

If you are not satisfied with your self, how can you ever expect anyone else to be?

So, what will happen when you tell the slaves "You are free now, I will not sustain your living anymore, I can not, you will be replaced by some highly effective humanoids"?
